<P>Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with increased mortality rate in patients but clinically available biomarkers for disease detection are currently not available. Recently, a new biomarker, selenium-binding protein 1 (SBP1), was identified for detection of nephrotoxicity using proteomic analysis. The aim of this study was to assess the sensitivity of urinary SBP1 levels as an early detection of AKI using animal models such as cisplatin or ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with cisplatin (6 mg/kg, once i.p.) and sacrificed at 1, 3, or 5 days after treatment. Ischemia was achieved by bilaterally occluding both kidneys with a microvascular clamp for 45 min and verified visually by a change in tissue color. After post-reperfusion, urine samples were collected at 9, 24, and 48 hr intervals. Urinary excretion of protein-based biomarkers was measured by Western blot analysis. In cisplatin-treated rats, mild histopathologic alterations were noted at day 1 which became severe at day 3. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (SCr) levels were significantly increased at day 3. Levels of urinary excretion of SBP1, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), and a tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) were markedly elevated at day 3 and 5 following drug treatment. In the vehicle-treated I/R group, serum levels of BUN and SCr and AST activity were significantly increased compared to sham. Urinary excretion of SBP1 and NGAL rose markedly following I/R. The urinary levels of SBP1, NGAL, TIMP-1, and KIM-1 proteins excreted by AKI patients and normal subjects were compared. Among these proteins, a marked rise in SBP1 was observed in urine of patients with AKI compared to normal subjects. Based upon receiver-operator curves (ROC), SBP1 displayed a higher area under the curve (AUC) scores than levels of SCr, BUN, total protein, and glucose. In particular, SBP1 protein was readily detected in small amounts of urine without purification. Data thus indicate that urinary excretion of SBP1 may be useful as a reliable biomarker for early diagnosis of AKI in patients.</P>

To investigate the effect and mechanism of caffeine on endurance exercise, two experiments were performed. First, to test caffeine effect on aerobic exercise, 200-300g Sprague-Dawley rats were used and three groups, control group, low caffeine injection group and high caffeine injection group, were divided. Blood smpling by heart puncture were done at rest, after 30 min treadmill exercise, and after maximal exercise. Blood glucose, free fatty acid concentration were detected and following results were obtained. Glucose concentration showed significant difference between groups(p=0.0305) and also significant changes were exhibited between time(p=0.0004). Free fatty acid concentration had no difference between groups. but had significance between times(p=0.00065). Exercise endurance performance time showed significant difference(p=0.02350 in high caffeine injection group compared to control group. In this experiments, endurance exercise capacity was increased by caffeine injection. Therefore, second experiment was performed to investigate the effect of caffeine on ion current induced inhibitory amino acid neurotransmitter. GABA and glycine. Single periaqueductal gray neuron was acutely dissociated and nystatin perforated patch clamp was performed under voltage clamping condition. Caffeine evoked outward current in PAG neuron dose dependent manner. 1mM of caffeine application had no response. but 3mM caffeine evoked about 32.5±8.539pA outward ion current and 10mM caffeine evoked about 215.46±19.4pA outward current. 10^-2mM GABA activated Cl￣current and recorded by inward current. Caffeine inhibited GABA activated Cl￣ current concentration dependent manner. 10^-2mM of caffeine had no effect on 1-^-2mM of GABA response. but 10^-1mM caffeine inhibited GABA activated Cl￣ current about 5.74±2.13%, 1mM caffeine inhibited about 17.25±2.70%, 10mM caffeine inhibited GABA response about 45.31±7.71%. 10^-1mM of glycine activated Cl￣ current and also recorded by inward current. Caffeine inhibited glycine activated Cl￣ current concentration dependent manner. 10^-2mM caffeine decreased glycine activated Cl￣ current about 4.61±1.650%, 10^-1mM caffeine decreased about 6.49±2.24%, 1mM caffeine decreased about 26.82±4.27%, and 10mM caffeine decreased glycine response about 94.47±1.39%. These results suggest that caffeine inhibite inhibitory amino acid, GABA and glycine, this response causes excitation of CNS and this seems to be the basic mechanism of increasing effect to aerobic exercise performance by caffeine.

Background : Gastric cancer is the most common malignant tumor in Korea. surgical operation is one of the major treatment modalities for gastric cancer patients. Therefore, gastrectomy is one of the most common procedures in General Surgery. There were variation in length of hospital stay and medical treatment for gastrectomy between three surgeons at Asan Medical Center. Clinical pathways have received considerable attention as a tool for recucing the medical practice variation, increasing the efficiency of care process, and improving the quality of care. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a clinical pathway for gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients. Methods : The clinical pathway for gastrectomy was developed and implemented by a multidisciplinary group in Asan Medical Center. A computerized clinical pathway program was developed and revised after a pilot test. A total of 145 patients underwent gastrectomy by three surgeons at Asan Medical Center. We compared the length of hospital stay, patient satisfaction, and unplanned readmission rate between the pre-pathway group(n=67) and the post-pathway group(n=78). We also investigated the degree of satisfaction among the physicians and nurses who were main end-users of the clinical pathway. Results : The clinical pathway was applied to all target patients. The average length of hospital stay was shortened from 12.7days to 10.6days(p<0.01). The degree of patient satisfaction with the care process changed from 90.3% to 89.2% after the implementation of the clinical pathway, but the difference was of satistically significant(p=0.761). Unplanned readmission rate was 2.9% in the pre-pathway group. More than 90% of physicians and nurses answered that the clinical pathway had been a useful tool in their medical practice. Conclusions : The findings of the study demonstrated that implementation of the clinical pathway for gastrectomy produced substantial reduction in the length of hospital stay while improving the quality of patient outcomes. The computerized clinical pathway program can be used as one of the powerful patient management tools for reducing the practice variations and increasing the efficiency of care process in Korea hospital settings.

Background: Subcortical ischemic vascular dementia (SIVD) frequently causes dementia in elderly people, and elevated plasma homocysteine concentrations have been reported to be associated with vascular dementia. Although the homozygous C677T mutation in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene can induce hyperhomocysteinemia, the association between MTHFR C677T polymorphism and SIVD has not been studied. Therefore, we examined the association of SIVD with plasma homocysteine concentration and MTHFR C677T polymorphism. Methods: We enrolled 58 patients with vascular dementia (VaD), 43 patients with SIVD, 69 lacunar infarct patients without vascualr dementia (LOD), and 232 healthy individuals and checked their fasting plasma homocysteine levels and analyzed the C677T polymorphism in the MTHFR gene. Results: The mean plasma homocysteine level in VaD, SIVD, and LOD patients were significantly higher than that in healthy controls (p;0.01). The odds ratio adjusted with age, sex, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and smoling were significantly higher in VaD (OR, 2.74; 95% CI, 1.04 to 7.23) and SIVD (OR, 3.12; 95% CI, 1.09 to 8.96) than that in controls. Compared with LOD, it was significantly higher in SIVD, but not in VaD (OR, 4.50; 95% CI, 1.05 to 19.26). In SIVD patients, the OR of plasma homocysteine level was higher in the TT genotype than those in the CC genotype (OR, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.01 to 2.49). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that elevated plasma homocysteine concentration and the MTHFR 6777 genotype are associated with SIVD.

상악동으로 이소맹출한 견치

김현옥,최병재,이종갑 대한소아치과학회 2000 大韓小兒齒科學會誌 Vol.27 No.4

구강 내에서 치아가 이소맹출되는 것은 흔히 있는 반면에 구강외 다른 부위로의 이소맹출은 드물다. 예를 들어 비강, 턱, 하악과두, 관상돌기, 안와 또는 상악동으로 이소맹출할 수 있으며 그 원인은 불명확한데 구개열과 같은 발육장애, 외상이나 낭종에 의한 치아변위, 상악감염, 유전, 총생 또는 치밀골 등의 원인 요소가 논의되고 있지만 대부분의 증례에서 정확한 원인이 규명되지는 않았다. 치아가 상악동으로 이소맹출한 경우 무증상일 수 있지만 심각한 병적문제를 야기할 수 있다. 본 증례는 6세 1개월 남환아로 어금니가 아프다는 주소로 연세대학교 치과대학병원 소아치과에 내원하였다. 의과병력과 치과병력조사에서 특이한 사항은 없었고 통상적인 보존치료후 주기적인 임상 및 방사선 사진 검사에서 상악 좌, 우 견치의 맹출경로의 이상소견을 보였다. 13세 7개월에 촬영한 파노라마 방사선 사진에서 상악 좌, 우측 견치가 상악동으로 이소맹출되었으며 Caldwell Luc 수술법으로 제거하였다. 환자는 동통이나 불편감 등을 호소하지 않았으며 종창이나 지각과민 등의 구강내 이상소견은 없었다. 이소맹출되는 치아는 영구치, 유치 및 과잉치일 수 있으며 대부분의 과잉치는 무증상으로 주로 주기적인 방사선 검사시 발견될 수 있다. 정확한 진단 및 치료계획을 세우기 위하여 주기적인 구강 및 방사선 사진 검사가 필요하다. Ectopic eruption of a tooth into the oral environment occurs commonly whereas ectopic eruption of a tooth into other sites is rare. Those that have been reported include the nasal cavity, chin mandibular condyles, coronoid processes, orbits and maxillary sinus. The etiologic factors of ectopic eruption are developmental disturbances such as cleft palate and teeth displaced by trauma or cysts, maxillary infection, genetic factors, crowding and exceptionally dense bone. In many cases, however, the etiology cannot be identified. Eruption of the teeth into the maxillary sinus is uncommon, however, the identification of such teeth can be important since they have potential to cause considerable morbidity. The definitive treatment is surgical removal of the teeth. A 7 year-old-boy visited the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, College of Dentistry, Yonsei University for treatment of dental caries. The abnormal erupting paths of the left and right maxillary canines were found during routine panoramic radiographic investigations. A panoramic radiograph taken at 13 years old revealed that two maxillary canines were located into the sinus. The teeth were extracted the Caldwell-Luc approach.

MOCVD法에 의한 TiO_2 薄膜의 製造 및 特性

金鍾國,朴炳玉 경북대학교 산업기술연구소 1995 産業技術硏究誌 Vol.23 No.-

TiO_2 thin films were deposited on Si-wafer(100) using atmospheric-pressure chemical vapor deposition method. The used MO source material was titanium tetraiso-propoxide((Ti(OC_3H_7)_4, TTIP). The vapor of the organo-metallic precursor was carried by Ar gas and pure O_2 was used as reactant gas. The refractive index was measured by ellipsometry. The morphology and thickness of the deposited films were characterized by scanning electron microscope(SEM). From the results of thermodynamic prediction in the TTIP + Ar system, the effect of carbon in deposited film was restricted to reactant gas. When the substrate temperature was 300℃, the intensity changes of the cross section of the deposited films were observed by EPMA. From this result, it was confirmed that TiO_2 films were well deposited. The deposition rates of thin films increased with the oxygen content and the substrate temperature. Above 400℃, the deposition rates of thin films were controlled by mass transport. The refractive index increased with the substrate temperature. When excessive oxygen gas was supplied, the refractive index of deposited film was decreased. The refractive index was not affected by total flow rates.
